Welcome back!! It is Day 7 of #12DaysofChristmasCards! This time next week I'll be making breakfast with my hubby and enjoying our first Christmas morning in our new house and our second Christmas as a married couple! So many fun memories to come!! Today's card has a lot of traditional Christmas Day items painted on it including a present, a tag from Santa, stockings, a wreath, a tree, and more! So in today's contest, I ask "What is the first thing you do Christmas morning?" Is it straight to the presents or does breakfast or stockings come first? I love Christmas traditions!! To enter to win this Card visit www.facebook.com/julieannmckevitt! As always, THANK YOU so much for participating and your support! Check back daily for a new Card until Christmas!
